I am entering my 35th week this Tuesday and was curious about what to take to the hospital as I’m pushing my little one out. No one ever talked to me about what really would be needy when the time comes :/

38W FTM an I packed for my little one a onesie an a plush blanket an a 2 swaddle blankets (one is thinner than the other) a burp cloth an a little Manuel Breast pump one pair of socks an one pair of mittens an one Beanie. Also packed a boppy lounger pillow..and a pacifier!(:

For me I'm packing a nursing bra, an I can't decided between a robe or a long sleeve night gown.. An I packed a going home outfit also cant decide between a maxi dress with a jean jacket or just leggings an a sweater with boots?.... And my foundation an powder an some mascara an my cat Von D bronzer pallet an eye brow tint..... Then my tooth brush an tooth paste and shampoo an soap, also an iPhone charger

For husband just some shorts an a shirt some socks an snacks! Also his tooth brush we live close to the hospital like maybe 15 mins away so if anything he could come back home

For me: fuzzy socks, a robe, loose/comfy going home outfit, toothbrush, phone charger, chapstick!!, hairbrush, deodorant, water bottle, Lanolin if you plan to breastfeed (I would bring formula with you if you don’t plan to because some hospitals will not provide it), shampoo/conditioner, health insurance card and know your social number

For myself I brought makeup, phone charger, night gowns, a comfy sweater and sweats for when visitors were there, my pillow, ICE PACKS, water bottles, depends, slippers or flip flops for in hospital, snacks

For LO i brought 3 sleepers (the gowns in the hospital are awkward and she hated them), a fuzzy blanket, a soothers. :) i was breastfeeding so i didnt bring bottles or formula but if you are going to formula feed i would bring those too

Honestly all that *** was a load of crap lol I? just made sure to bring deodorant, toothbrush, hair brush (didn’t use), phone charger and laptop/iPads for my fiancé and I? to watch movies on- we also had a DVD player in our room so that was helpful.... for baby I? just brought a onesie and pjs, socks, mittens, hat. Only used a onesie socks and hat. We just made our room warm. I? also left the following morning after I? had him so there was no need. I? wore pjs home also.. hospital provided shampoo/conditioner/ body soap etc.

You still bleed after you give birth. So I? didn’t bring my own undies or clothes to wear.. I? just wore their gowns and asked for a couple extra to switch if it got gross. they also have me about 15 of those stretchy boyshort undies to wear. The Gowns have breast cutouts to whip em out to nurse lol.
